Mixed Media is a relaxed and inclusive 1.5-hour visual arts program designed for teens and adults with disabilities to explore creativity, build confidence, and connect with others in a supportive environment.

Led by Tiff, a licensed Creative Arts Therapist (AThR), each session offers a different creative focus, with activities ranging from painting and drawing to collage, 3D modelling, and hands-on craft projects. Participants are encouraged to experiment with a variety of materials, techniques, and ideas, with support to engage in ways that suit their individual interests and abilities.

The program is designed to be flexible and accessible, ensuring all participants can take part meaningfully, including those using mobility supports. Many participants attend alongside a support worker or carer, creating a safe and supported space where individuals can engage at their own pace.

Across the term, participants are supported to develop creative skills, explore self-expression, and build social connections through shared art-making experiences. At times, projects may connect with other programs, such as creating props to be used in Creative Movement & Dance, offering a sense of continuity and collaboration across sessions.

Mixed Media supports participants to build capacity in creative expression, confidence, and social engagement, encouraging individuals to explore their ideas, try new things, and feel part of a creative community.

Participants enrolled in both Mixed Media and Creative Movement & Dance are eligible for a discounted rate, with places in Mixed Media offered subject to availability.
